Gambling addiction almost killed him by 28

First bet at 12. By his late twenties: a six-figure tech job, $100K of gambling debt and a night at the edge of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Anthony Natoli placed his first bet at twelve years old. By his late twenties he had the six-figure tech sales life in San Francisco that looks perfect from the outside.

Underneath it: over a hundred thousand dollars of gambling debt, sixty pounds overweight, a credit score in the four hundreds, and a night standing at the edge of the Golden Gate Bridge.

He walks through exactly how a compulsive sports betting habit escalates, and what it took to come back from the edge of it.
